    Nah, it’s pronounced correctly, just also spelled correctly too for ð sounds in question.

      So why only the thorns? Why none of the other typological changes in English? Like the great vowel shift and such? Written language is an imperfect tool to represent spoken language, which is an imperfect tool to represent free human thought. Where in this bastardization of a bastardization we call language do you draw your arbitrary line?

          Talk how you want. The only issue I see is that others won’t understand you, but you’re not hurting anyone doing so. Just don’t get upset when others can’t understand you.

            Well see ðat’s ð þing, I only get mad at people who see my writing and lash out at me first. I do usually end up blocking ðem after I say my peace.
